Directions to Jeremiah Bolling Cemetery:
From US 23/Orby Cantrell Hwy., take State Route 671/S. Fork Rd., Turn left onto State Route 620/Dewey Rd. and follow it to the end. There, turn right onto State Route 627/Hale Gap Rd., follow it to the driveway of the residence shown on the attached google map. View the google map using the "Hybrid" option and enlarge it to see the residence and driveway. The couple that live at that residence care for the cemetery.
There are many unmarked graves in this cemetery, as well as, several field stones with no inscriptions and a couple field stones with illegible writing. It is my understanding that Jeremiah Bolling, Jr. and his wife, Providence Short, do NOT have markers of any type on their graves.
The following is an excerpt from Family Burying Ground in Wise County, Virginia, by James Taylor Adams, pages 36-37, James visited this cemetery on 17 September 1936:
The Needlehead John Bolling Graveyard is on a gentle south slope, about five hundred yards northwest of the Boony Bolling Place on the South Fork of The Pound, and seventy-five yards north of the public road. The quarter of an acre plot is well fenced, shaded by some spreading oak trees and is in good condition. If John (Needlehead John) Bolling is buried in the graveyard that bears his name his grave is not marked. He was a son of Jeremiah (Little Jerry) Bolling and his wife, Providence (Prov), who was a daughter of William Short. Little Jerry was a son of Jeremiah (Jerry) Bolling and a brother to Jonathan, Ezekiel, Hosea, Amos, James, Edmond, Delany and Jesse Bolling. Needlehead John married Melvina, daughter of Archelaus Craft, and lived out his days on the South Fork of The Pound. Soon after dinner, Thursday, September 17, 1936, I left Benton Bolling's, walked up the North Fork Road, through Hale Gap, and down onto the South Fork of The Pound, arriving at the Needlehead John Bolling Graveyard at fifteen minutes till three. And here is what I found:

See the webpage below, by Vickie Sturgill Stevens and Rhonda Robertson, that lists burials in this cemetery and has additional photos of tombstones. It seems that all the photos were taken by Rhonda Robertson. The photos were either taken in 2000 or submitted in 2000, but I do not know which. They have photos of 3 tombstones that I (Angela L. Stallard) did NOT see on my visit (in June 2011), they are for: James Lee & Ida B. Mullins; Mary Boggs; and Lloyd & Rosana Phillips. Also, the photo they have of the cemetery entrance is the back entrance, whereas, my photo (shown here) is of the front entrance.
